We have heard of people making their own ice cream with ice cream makers. Sounds like to dream for us and a wonderful gadget to own. Ok, anyhow, here is FF's way of 'making our own ice cream'.
Many years ago, we went to have lunch in a cafe with a friend and she insisted we order the apple pie. What was so special about the apple pie there anyway that we cannot make a heartier one at home. The pie came thick and with chunky baked slices of apples in it. What was superb was the ice cream that came with it – vanilla with cinnamon!
That gave us loads of ideas to spice up our own ice cream. FF is always about stretching those pennies, so we bought the cheapest vanilla ice cream we could find in the store. You can use quality ice cream of course if you are willing, but this recipe will make any ice cream taste extremely special.
We would melt the ice cream in room temperature. Just leave it out and then mix in ground nutmeg or other ground spices you can find lying around the kitchen. We recently made vanilla ice cream with nutmeg and white pepper to add on top of Mr Washy's bread pudding. You can add just about anything else to jazz up your customized ice cream. Add nuts, fruits, spices, herbs... give it a good mix, taste, freeze and enjoy. OMG!!!
